We had Inna Kochkina on our radar since her time at the Rietveld Academy. Not just her attending our lectures but her unconventional ways of creating and using type sparked our interest. Even though TypeAmsterdam beat us to it, giving her the stage and her recently having a book presentation at <a href="https://san-serriffe.com/events/one-shape-of-the-language-cyrillic-archives-by-inna-kochkina/" title="https://san-serriffe.com/events/one-shape-of-the-language-cyrillic-archives-by-inna-kochkina/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">San Serriffe</a>, we invited Inna to present her research into archaic Cyrillic again in more depth at letterspace.—<a href="http://oc-ta.org/" title="http://oc-ta.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Inna Kochkina</a> is a visual researcher and typographer. She is an author of One Shape of the Language: Cyrillic Archives (Amsterdam, <a href="https://san-serriffe.com/product/inna-kochkina-on-the-shape-of-the-language-cyrillic-archives/" title="https://san-serriffe.com/product/inna-kochkina-on-the-shape-of-the-language-cyrillic-archives/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">San Serriffe</a>, 2024). Inna’s artistic practice, originating from her graphic design education at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, encompasses research in typography and language, experimental printmaking, and type design. In her research, Inna delves into the intricate relationships between politics, language, cultural heritage, and identity. She initiates various experimental typography classes and workshops and currently holds a mentor position at the <a href="https://rietveldacademie.nl/" title="https://rietveldacademie.nl/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Gerrit Rietveld Academie</a>. — In this talk, Inna will discuss her research into the history, style, and politics of traditional Cyrillic typography, as presented in her publication. This research was born from Inna’s self-reflective curiosity about the relationship between cultural heritage and typography and evolved into an examination of the socio-political role of traditional Cyrillic. An ancient script, Cyrillic has been used to express various forms of cultural and territorial domination and continues to serve as an imperialist tool, having long been deployed in support of Slavic nationalism both in Russia and in the former USSR territories. This publication One Shape of the Language: Cyrillic Archives is the result of Inna’s own research into and engagement with archives of typography, as well as conversations with anti-colonial activists, artists, and historians who interrogate traditional Cyrillic and its relationship to colonial power. The project was made possible through the generous support of the <a href="https://www.stimuleringsfonds.nl/" title="https://www.stimuleringsfonds.nl/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Stimuleringsfonds, Creatieve Industrie NL</a> and <a href="https://www.amsterdamsfondsvoordekunst.nl/" title="https://www.amsterdamsfondsvoordekunst.nl/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Stichting Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst</a>.— Hosted at: De Lange Adem Ruyschstraat 295, 1091 DX Amsterdam —Supported by:<a href="https://www.re-type.com/" title="https://www.re-type.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Retype Foundry</a> &amp; <a href="https://fonds.pictoright.nl" title="https://fonds.pictoright.nl" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">PICTORIGHT Fonds</a>
